We'll be holding our Spring Open House from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 15th. The event is open to current Stanbridge families as well as anyone who may be considering Stanbridge for their child (or who simply may be curious about what our school has to offer). The event will feature a welcome from the Head of School, presentations from counselors and staff, as well as guided tours of the campus and classrooms. This is our final Open House event of the school year, and a fantastic opportunity to learn about Stanbridge firsthand!
